This situation is a perfect example of why paying dues for operational expenses =/= paying for friends.

Your founders, as idealistic young women, may not have for seen these real needs for dues. It's unrealistic to ask others, ie non members, to contribute to your sorority so that you can pay for parties and insurance. Essentially, they are paying your dues for you.
They may have also bought into the idea I mentioned a moment ago. It sounds like this obstacle will require changing more than just the constitution.
